Official time/measurement monitoring in marathons and relay races
Citizen has been engaged in time measurement at marathons and long-distance relay races since 1982. We accurately determine finishing order with the use of IC tags featuring low power consumption and high reception capacity, and measure times in 1/1000-second increments. Aside from road running events, we also provide scoreboards for indoor competitions such as table tennis, as well as large-size clocks at the Koshien Stadium.
Providing the world with high-value added parts
We supply car manufacturers worldwide with the functional components of automobiles such as parts that make up the heart of the ABS (antilock brake system), engine-related parts and airbag components with the help of the precision cutting technologies that we have amassed from the watches component processing technology.
Contributing to the enlargement of liquid crystal displays and the shift to ultra-slim panels
The liquid crystal displays of cell phones and car navigation systems use a lot of LED backlights Units. Citizen contributes to the enlargement of liquid crystal screens and to the shift to ultra-slim panels through a method in which the light that has been irradiated through the white LED from the side of the liquid crystal panel is reflected onto the light guide plate to illuminate the entire panel.
Playing a significant role in the evolution of products
Together with the demand for compact and thinner switches, the requirements on durability and the feeling when the switch is pressed are also growing. Citizen continues to enhance its technologies and develop products with better reliability and feel toward the tapping of new markets such as earphones for cell phones and tablets, and keyless switches for cars.
